| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Northern California | | | Whatever technique used to suspend 4 strings over a set of frets is only worth so much.IMHO.My Alembic cost over 5 grand new.I would be lucky to get $1500 for it!I will add it plays is built and sounds better than My,Elrick,Bossa,Skjold,and Fender.Is it just because Les plays these that they demand such resale value?I mean c'mon it's Les.
Will this tool be able to just blow away My other tools or,is that the price for Carl's finger funk?If it will,I will give you my Bossa obj-5 and a Skjold 5 +cash for it.I have been gasing for a Thompson since I was 15!............I guess I could just buy it but,since I can't play it what do you think on the comparison to these other brands?
